Oxford commas seem great until you confuse a list for a clause because you’re a complete idiot.

A dangerous new proposal at the #Texas Legislature would potentially empower militia groups to act with impunity—and full legal immunity—at the #border, reports @justinmiller.

Opponents call it a dangerous vigilante move that will get innocent people killed. https://www.texasobserver.org/border-militia-bill-reveals-texas-gops-scheme-to-expand-state-enforcement-powers/

Well there you have it. Desantis is Putin's agent. As is Trump and every member of the Republican Party.

If you want to save the world from dictatorship, stop wasting your Blue vote in a Red State and move to a Swing State before the voter registration deadline for 2024.

It's strange how anachronisms can creep into your speech when you get old enough. "Waiting by the phone", you know how many people have done that in the last decade? None people, that's right.

Hello. I am a Briton who spent half his life in the US and is now living in Amsterdam. Quite soon I will be Dutch.

After the repeated mendacity and hostility from UK gov't officials, a gov't that got re-elected twice after Brexit, no one trusts the UK not to be evil and dishonest at everyone's expense, even against their own self-interest.

A collapsing economy and society would not be an asset to the EU, unfortunately.

@ScottSoCal YES. I'm not LGBTQIA+ but that scene, the normalcy of it, the fact that it's here in this universe without having to beg and plead for it -- it brought me to tears.

My therapist requires AA batteries.

I interviewed Michelle Yeoh a few years ago about #StarTrekDiscovery and I mentioned offhand that I'd written an article about what seeing her use her accent on the bridge of a starship meant to me.

She stopped and said "Wait, that was YOU?"

And then proceeded to talk about how much that article had meant to HER and how it contributed to the success of the show.

I can't think about it without crying.
